Derivative Market Analysis
Nifty:
The highest put OI has been noted at 23,000, while fresh addition has been observed at 23,300, which will act as a crucial support for the index.
On the flip side, the highest call OI addition has been noted at 24,000, followed by 23,800, which will act as resistance.
A concentration of both call and put OI has been noted at 23,500, making it a deciding level. Holding above 23,500 may push Nifty toward 23,800, whereas holding below 23,500 could drag it toward 23,200.

Bank Nifty:

US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
U.S. stock index futures fell sharply on Sunday evening after President Donald Trump imposed trade tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China over the weekend, marking the start of a new global trade war.
Sector-Specific Movements:
Trump launched 25% duties against Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% duty on China, calling on the countries to stem the flow of illegal drugs and immigrants into the U.S.
All three countries condemned the tariffs and pledged to take retaliatory measures. Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs of its own, while Mexico said it would explore levies on U.S. imports. The Chinese government, meanwhile, said it would file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization.
S&P 500 Futures slid 1.6% to 5,970.25 points, while Nasdaq 100 Futures fell 2.4% to 21,089.25 points. Dow Jones Futures fell 1.1% to 44,233.0 points.
Economic Indicators:
Losses in futures also came following a negative session on Wall Street on Friday, as PCE price index data grew as expected for December, indicating that U.S. inflation remained sticky. Trump’s tariffs are expected to add to inflation.
Traders are also looking ahead to the biggest week for fourth-quarter earnings, which have become increasingly important in determining the state of the market as tariff concerns ramp and artificial intelligence stocks remain under scrutiny. More than 120 companies in the S&P 500 are set to report their results.
